We prepare the cake

• We turn on the oven and preheat it to 180°C, heat up and down.

• Add the oil and carrots and program 5 seconds, speed 4.
• Add the flour, the baking soda, the salt, the ginger and the cinnamon, the yeast, the chopped walnuts and program 4 seconds, speed 5.
• Grease the mold with butter and line the base with baking paper. Pour the dough (if you have two molds of the same diameter you can divide the dough in two and you will have the separate layers to fill) and place in the oven at 180°C for about 50-55 minutes (35-40 if you use two molds). To check that it is done, we click in the center with a toothpick: if it comes out clean, it is ready.

The tricks of the perfect Carrot Cake in Thermomix

• The carrots: they are used raw, and try to choose “young” and small carrots, which are sweeter.
• The sugar: can you prepare this Carrot Cake also using only white sugar, or on the contrary for a more decided caramel taste only Brown sugar.
• Mold: the cake is quite moist, so you have to be careful when unmolding it. We recommend removable molds like these, but if you don’t have it, it’s important to put baking paper in the bottom and grease the sides well. The removable spray is very practical in that sense.

• Cooking time: Being a cake with many wet ingredients, it takes a long time to cook. If you use a single mold, depending on the oven it can take you at least 50 minutes, but also 1 hour or more. The ideal is to use two molds to reduce cooking times and not run the risk of being raw in the center. Test with a toothpick to make sure it’s cooked.
• Freeze: If you have leftovers you can freeze. We advise you to cut it into portions and freeze it like this, and then defrost what you are going to eat, putting it in the fridge 24 hours before.
• Stuffed: with the cheese frosting it is a spectacular dessert, but without filling the cake is also delicious, and it becomes a luxurious breakfast or snack. By the way, we leave you an easy carrot cake recipe on video:
